How Can I Learn?

You learn the Alexander Technique through one-to-one lessons with a qualified teacher. This setting process provides the best opportunity for your individual needs to be addressed.

The number of lessons you take will depend on you particular needs and goals, and these can be discussed with your teacher. Please note that Alexander teachers, although highly trained, are not medical advisors and do not make medical diagnoses.

Learning the Alexander Technique involves changing long-standing habits so improvement relies in part on your active participation. A course of 20 to 30 regular lessons can provide a good foundation for on-going self-discovery for most people.

What Happens In Lessons?

Your teacher will use explanation and a guiding touch to help you re-discover balance and ease within yourself. You start by working with simple movements and positions - such as sitting walking, or bending the knees - which are basic to all activity.

Through experience and observation you learn how your coordination works - how you create tension and how you can prevent or release it. This awareness enables you to change longstanding habits and function more efficiently. In time and with practice you will be able to use your new understanding and skill in more complex and demanding activities and situations in your daily life. You can bring awareness and poise to anything you do.

Alexander lessons involve some movement, so you may be asked to wear non-restrictive clothing and remove your shoes.
